First time use info on making more visible vapor

[Yogurt]

I just started vaporing 2 days ago after spending about a week surfing these forums and gathering info. I am using the DSE901 and am pretty happy with it so far though i am going to order some different models and see what i like.

The taste took some getting used to but i like it, its cleaner and crisper than an analog.

I get a noticeable nicotine hit.

The only thing i am particularly dissapointed with is the amount of visible vapor. The knowledge that i have been able to gather is that order some juice of a desireable concentration and then mix it with glycerine. But being an extremely cautious person that doesnt really jump out on things (wimp) without knowing exactly what im doing, i thought i would ask some questions

1. I am not much of a chemist. Is glycerine just exactly what everyone says it is - something i go to the pharmacist and just get a vial of?

2. Does mixing it (or cutting it as people refer to it?) just entitle taking my juice and adding glycerine to it? if so... how much? or is that something that you just have to expirement with and find what works for you?

3. I mainly just want to have more visible vapor so what is a good ratio or could anyone direct me to some juice that someone sells that is generally meant for more visible vapor? or should i just go with a higher concentration go get some glycerine and make my own?

Thank you for reading my post that ended up being longer than i initially intended. Thanks everyone.

You might want to spend some time reading up on this forum:

DIY e-liquid - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

It will provide you with TONS of information on these issues.

First of all, you left out your location. It's not easy for anyone to tell you where to find things when they have no idea where you are. Keep in mind that this is a world wide forum. If you're in the USA, you can get the glycerne at CVS. 99.5% pure. I get high nicotine juice and mix it 50/50. Lots of vapor.

Does your high nicotine juice come with the PG carrier and, if so, is there a problem with adding VG to juice that is PG based?

You can do this without a problem. However, remember that VG tends to be thicker than PG. Some people here thin it our a bit with distilled water or vodka, etc...... Someone can explain the procedure better than I as I only use PG for cutting.

you can also try topping off your cart with your e-liquid, then adding a drop of glycerin to that - you should get more visible vapor without cutting the liquid.....a "test drive" if you will without sacrificing a lot of liquid and then not being able to use it because you didn't like the results....

First time poster sorry, i will make sure i add my location from here on out.
I am in USA in washington state. We dont have a CVS around here, but im assuming its the same as say a Rite-Aid. So i will try that out.

High nicotine juice is 36mg? at least from the knowledge ive gathered that seems like the highest concentration that suppliers sell.

Thank you so much everyone for info, it helps a lot.

P.S. PG = ? VG = ?

Someone should make a e-cig lingo thread - most regulars seem on top of things though, im bet someone did already, but i cant find it >_<

Yogurt, you are in the US - you can get Glycerine at any craft store that sells cake decorating supplies (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, AC Moore) and many fabric stores. Ask for the cake decorating section.

One drop into a cart and you will see a mountain of vapor. Actually freaked me out on my first 0 nic (mostly PG) trial mix as the vapor went on forever.
